What is Reflexology?
|
|
Whilst the art of reflexology dates back to ancient Egypt, India and China, it was not until 1913 that a gentleman named Dr William Fitzgerald introduced the therapy to the West as Zone Therapy. He noticed that reflex areas on the feet and hands were linked to organs and other areas of the body within the same zones.
In the 1930s Eunice Ingham further developed this Zone Therapy into what is now known as reflexology. She observed that congestion or tension in any part of the foot or ankle area is mirrored in the corresponding part of the body.
